Line 1:
Line 1: − '''Jim Elliot''' was a [[missionary]] [[martyr]] killed while trying to reach the [[Waodani]], an extremely violent tribe found in [[Ecuador]] that was previously unreached and on the brink of extinction. Feeling a strong calling from God to reach them with the good news of [[Jesus Christ]], he and four other missionaries made the ultimate sacrifice in January 1956 when they lost their lives. Jim was 28 years old. The story was told in [[Life Magazine]] and energized a new generation of [[Christians]] for the mission field. The Waodani would later be [[evangelized]] and give up their killing ways through the work of the wives of the murdered missionaries. Jim Elliott was survived by his wife, [[Elisabeth Elliott|Elisabeth]], and his daughter, Valerie, not quite 1 year old at the time of his death.+ − − Jim was a graduate of [[Wheaton college]] and known for his prolific journaling and strong Christian study. − − He famously wrote in his journal: <blockquote>"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose."</blockquote> − − {{DEFAULTSORT:Elliot, Jim }} − − [[Category: Missionaries]]
